The grey hedgehog ran up the final flight of stairs. She was no longer invisible because of the amount of distractions surrounding her. The security cameras all pointed towards her before the lasers above shot towards her, making her leap out the way. The Protector had made quite a mess throughout the base, not a single floor went unharmed. Most robots had been demolished as well, leaving the scraps to pile up on the floor. Jayde just hoped the Eggman had a cleaning bot.

"Ja-y-de." The female glanced at her wrist, voices coming from the communicator.

"Tails?" she asked before looking upward.

Jumping away from another blazing light, the hedgehog spin dashed up towards them, knocking them from the wall. Multiple robots where surrounding her as she flicked on the communicator, "Jayde!" Tails called, his voice audible again. Jayde went to speak but the robots fired, causing her to jump out the way. An energy enveloped fist collided with the small bots before twirling around and slamming her foot against another.

The doors to the control room opened and the mustached man himself walked out. He glared at the grey hedgehog, watching as she destroyed his inventions into a pile of nothing. Jayde had yet to notice the Doctor as she stopped ad glanced back at the twin-tailed fox, "Jayde, you've got to get out of there!"

"No way! Eggy Nosehair has a Shard-" The grey hedgehog was cut off but the blue blur snickering in the background. Sonic pushed Tails slightly, coming into view.

"Eggy Nosehair," he laughed, throwing his head back, "That's the best thing I've heard all day."

"Well, Eggy Nosehair is right behind you." Eggman spoke with a raised voice before pressing his wrist watch. The grey hedgehog was contained in steel bars as she spun around, glaring at the Doctor. Jayde grabbed hold of the bars, only for them to burn against her fingers.

Jayde flinched back, "Ah, uncool-" Sonic spoke through the speakers before her communicator was shot from her wrist. The grey hedgehog glanced down at the broken device, listening to Eggman chuckled at her attempts of escape, "Ah, Jayde the Renegade. I've been waiting for you to arrive. You made a smashing entrance there."

The female hedgehog crossed her arms and closed her eyes, turning away, "Tell me what you want Egghead before I scramble all your plans."

The Doctor grumbled under his breath, "It's Eggman." The floor underneath the bars rose from the ground and moved into the main control room with Jayde. This control room looked out into a lab which had a large robot being finished by his two henchmen.

"Did you charge that with the black Shard?" Jayde asked, glaring at the doctor.

Eggman hummed, "I know, brilliant right?"

Jayde shook her head, placing her hands on her hips, "You know how dangerous that Shard is, why would you even try that? Do you want to be fried?"

"I want to dominate this world and rule over it with the new Eggman Empire and-" he stopped talking as the female hedgehog snickered and sent a small glare her way before continuing, "And the Shard is the ultimate power I need to finally succeed in doing so. Not you, that traitor or that blue rat will stop me."

"We will stop you, Egghead and you know it." Jayde spoke before focusing her powers and turning invisible. Her goal was to walk straight out from the cage, but the bars must've been created using the power of the Shards because it pierced her body, forcing her to jolt back and clutch her stomach, reappearing.

"There's no escape from there so you might as well get comfy." Eggman chuckled before turning serious, "Why don't you come to your senses and join me. We will be invincible and rule the world, nothing would stop us!"

"I'll never join with you!" Jayde snapped, slamming her fists against the bars, only to get a shock zap through her body, causing her whole form to freeze and fill with pain. But she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of it.

The doctor grinned, "Yes Jayde, try and escape. Every time you touch those metal bars it steals your power - and the longer you're in there, the more you lose your strength to continue." Jayde growled at the moustached man before crossing her arms, "If you give me your Shard, I'll let you go and you'll be free until I attack again."

"I'd rather rot here than give it to you," she snapped, turning away, not mentioning the fact she really didn't have it on her.

"You stubborn, little-"

A loud crash was heard before two hedgehogs dropped from the ceiling, landing between the cage and the evil genius. The Ultimate Lifeform and the white telekinesis hedgehog stood up from the rubble, glares on their faces. The three hedgehogs watched Eggman stumble back towards his control panel.

"Ah, Shadow and Silver. How nice of you to drop in." Eggman grinned, "Robots, ATTACK!" His fist slammed against a button and multiple guard bots rushed through the door, all of their weapons aiming for the two male hedgehogs. But Shadow was already prepared and shot a shower of chaos spears towards them, blowing them all up. The hedgehog wasn't messing around; Silver and Jayde knew that, he just wanted this over with.

Eggman gave a girlish yell before racing towards his eggcarrier, smashing through his lab window and towards the main robot. "Guys! Get me outta here!" Jayde snapped, going to hit the cage before remembering the pain she had encountered beforehand. Silver ran to the barred enclosure and disabled it, allowing her to step out and shake off.

Shadow ran towards them, an angry look on his face but Silver spoke first, "Aren't you meant to sound more dramatic and helpless?"

Jayde rolled her eyes, "Oh please Silver and Shadow, save me from this cage. I'm so cared!" she cried dramatically, causing the white male to chuckle.

"I'll get you soon!" Eggman yelled, "Your time is running out! The Shards will be mine!"
